          AND THE FORMULATION OF THE ELITIST'S PRINCIPLES , TO ENGINEER THE  DECIMATION OF THE HUMAN FAMILY, TO BRING IN THE NEW WORLD ORDER, AND OR TO PREPARE THE EVACUATION OF  THIS PENAL COLONY WE CALL EARTH, 

sometimes, the actions of my brothers, whether Jew or black,  native American, or Caribbean Carib, makes me really sick to be considered human. But so also does the actions of all of us as a race, make me wonder, that may be our dearest mother Elohim, made a mistake a second and third time, allowing us access to this wonderful rock we call home;

                                                                  Egypt's Place in Modern Africa

Egypt's place in modern Africa is sometimes questioned due to its era of Pan-Arabism. The reason why many modern Egyptians consider themselves more Arab than African has much to do with the late Gamal Abdel Nasser. Nasser was the one who founded the notion of a United Arab nation that ultimately blew up in his face and was a large embarrassment to the Arab nation at large. This begins the misadventure of Egyptians identifying with Arabs instead of Africans.

Most people who ask these questions about modern Egyptians don't study history that well. You must study Egypt from the inception [pre-dynastic period] down to the modern era. The whole process of Arabization started when the Arabs invaded in 640 AD and continued throughout the entire Islamic period until occupation by Kurdish Ayyubids, Mamelukes, and finally the Ottoman Turks that co-reigned with Europeans.

The only true Egyptians in modern Egypt are the Fellahin, Sai'idi people, Baladi, and the Nubians. Everybody else are foreigners. But please note even these sub-culture within Egypt are not necessarily pure, for they have mixture with many other groups that do include Arabs. The sub-culture tends to be more African than the mainstream Egyptian society, and these people are often marginalized.

For those who are unaware, the Arabian caliph that occurred in Egypt after Amr Ibn Alas'--such as the Umayyad and Abbasid sent Arabian tribes from Yemen and Syria into parts of the Delta and in parts of Middle Egypt. These Arabian tribes treated the indigenous Egyptian Fellahin like slaves, and the caste system in modern Middle and Upper Egypt exists with the Arab Bedouin Tribe on top, Ashraf second and finally the Fellahin on the bottom. Most prominent political leaders are chosen from the Bedouin Arab Tribes and the Ashraf but rarely from the Fellahin groups. 

Nasser himself had a Pan-African outlook but was blinded by his Arabism. Nasser in fact came from an Arab tribe that migrated from Hejaz into the Middle Egypt city of Asyut. This deeply influenced his pan-Arabist outlook and was was further strengthened by his ties to Arabi Tribes. Most foreigners don't completely understand this.

Modern Egyptian's phobia for all things Africa has a lot to do with the media they get on Africa. Europeans broadcast nothing but negative images of Africa, and modern Egyptians think like most Americans that Africans live tribal lifestyles within jungles. This leads many to distance themselves away from the continent. Reports from Africans living in Cairo have been rather bleak with some Egyptians screaming 'ooga booga'' at them. This is clearly the American influence, and the Egyptians who do this are usually elite types that associate closely with Europeans. 

Egypt's modern policy with Palestine might also give Egypt more priority within the so-called Middle East than in parts of Africa--not to mention the strained relations with Sudan, or the Nile river crisis with modern Ethiopia. These too are factors to consider. Egypt also has its share of colonial practices during the Turk-Anglo-Egyptian occupation of the Sudan during the 1870's.
